Sounds great, but as far as I know Diffie–Hellman doesn't protect from MitM attack if there's no trusted party to prove the integrity of keys sent. I skimmed through the description but this seems not to touch on that theme. Maybe it's sharing public keys in person time again.

Honestly i’d like something that focuses on this rather than trying once again to be WhatsApp/telegram but secure

The police already can easily know my irl social circle but I still don’t want to let them know when and why I talk to them

Simplex was in a good direction then they took vc money while having startup status and they are aiming to replace other messengers

IIRC, Briar requires (or at least required) you to exchange keys face to face and verify them before starting communication. Maybe that changed, but it looked like the most convenient app to communicate in such a manner. But Signal also has key verification so...
